1837 - At a conference of the Church in Kirtland, Ohio, Oliver Cowdery, Joseph Smith, Sr., Hyrum Smith, and John Smith are appointed Assistant Counselors to the Prophet Joseph Smith. Other leaders of the Church are sustained, while many are not due to the feeling of apostasy in Kirtland at this time. Due to the failure of the Kirtland bank, some had declared Joseph a fallen prophet and tried to take control of the Church. At this conference, the Prophet Joseph is unanimously sustained as President by those who attended the conference—those who had remained faithful. (History of the Church, 2:509-510)

1838 - The Kirtland Camp arrived and camped about six miles outside of Indianapolis, Indiana, having traveled 373 miles from Kirtland on their journey to Missouri. Lucius Scovil’s wagon was hit by a “drunken” stage coach driver who drove off “exulting in his mischief” which required repairs before his family could continue on the journey. Also, General Atchison arrived in the evening at Far West, Missouri, after receiving the Prophet Joseph’s call for help. The mobs continue to gather in Daviess County.
